Translational biomarkers and drug development with John Smeraglia

In this interview, John Smeraglia (UCB Biopharm, Brussels, Belgium) talks us through translational biomarkers and their applications in drug development and discovery. He discusses the bioanalytical methods used to quantify translational biomarkers and how researchers can begin to apply these techniques in the clinic.

About the author:

John Smeraglia is Senior Director of Bioanalytical Sciences in Non-Clinical Development at UCB. He plays a key role in bioanalytical sciences to enhance and revolutionise the way that the quantitative bioanalysis and biomarker assays are performed. His work focuses on providing bioanalytical leadership for the quantification of mechanistic biochemical biomarkers to advance drug development.
